My dad was a retired LCDR. He used to put on his old uniform to watch the game. Me, well, the Marines are a Department of the Navy. The Mens' Department!

Yeah, that's an old joke. My dad died before I enlisted, but I can just imagine the conversations...

God Bless your Dad! Heros all.... We are well blessed to have MEN who will give ANYTHING to protect our homeland.

Your Dad was another hero.
God bless him and God hold him close and dear.
Thank you for your service, too.
Merry Christmas and God bless.
